He took out the top award in shot put, winning the gold medal with a massive personal best throw of 15.25 metres.
Connor also gained a fifth place in the finals of discus, achieving another personal best.

He was also awarded a ‘Lone Star’ Scholarship with the Western Region Academy of Sport (WRAS) for his achievements in these two throwing events, which gives him the opportunity to attend further athletic meets and get some expert coaching from the best in NSW.
